It was painfully obvious that he said the challenge beast comments as a joke. The fact that so many people took at as something more than that is hilarious to be quite honest. I didn't see anything smug/arrogant/delusional about him (then again I haven't seen him be smug/arrogant/delusional any time I've seen him.) The one possible thing was the relishing in Malcolm's departure but it was clear in that instance that it wasn't personal either, just Cochran relishing in the act of taking out a very competent social/physical/strategic player.

And racer... What Cochran said this episode would be what I considered as "smug" and "arrogant"... + a little "delusional".

Are you being serious? He was joking about winning so many Immunities since nobody thought it was even possible, let alone himself.

He got a little carried away. I know he's kidding don't worry. But I think it got a little into his head after he won Immunity and went on to talk about how's he's winning all the challenges this season. I don't have any problem with that actually.

The type of smug and arrogance that I cannot stand... = Philip and Russell. Those are the worst.
